Bellwoods House is a new 13-storey boutique condominium development in Toronto’s vibrant Trinity Bellwoods neighbourhood. This project blends the historic character of a restored heritage property with the contemporary demands of modern urban living. Offering suites ranging from studios to spacious three-bedroom residences, Bellwoods House has been carefully planned to offer a functional and quality living experience.
Optimal Location and Urban Connectivity
Conveniently positioned at the intersection of King Street West and Strachan Avenue, Bellwoods House offers residents a central location that encapsulates the essence of urban Toronto. They benefit from immediate access to some of the city’s most celebrated green spaces. This includes Trinity Bellwoods Park, located just a few hundred meters away, an expansive urban park that is a communal gathering spot for picnics, sports, and leisurely strolls.
The neighbourhood itself is a lively mix of old and new. Within walking distance, residents can explore the eclectic blend of trendy cafes, artisanal bakeries, independent boutiques, and high-end restaurants that line King and Queen Streets.
Transportation and connectedness are a highlight, with an impressive walk score of 94, a transit score of 92, and a bike score of 93. Regular streetcar routes along Queen Street, King Street, and Bathurst and the upcoming Ontario Line further enhance connectivity. For commuters, proximity to the Gardiner Expressway and Lake Shore Boulevard add to the convenience.
Architectural Integrity and Adaptive Reuse
Bellwoods House’s adaptive reuse approach maintains a connection to the neighbourhood’s past without sacrificing the functional benefits of contemporary design.
The architectural approach is centred on respectful preservation and innovative design. The project repurposes a three-storey heritage structure, integrating it with modern townhome units along Strachan Avenue. The building’s façade preserves its industrial character, featuring robust masonry details that echo its historic roots. Meanwhile, large windows and streamlined finishes lend a modern edge. Inside, award-winning designers have incorporated warm wood tones, organic textures, and subtle industrial accents. Brought together cohesively, Bellwood House achieves a natural harmony by letting quality materials and inspired detailing speak for themselves.
Customizable Suites: A Focus on Quality
At the heart of Bellwoods House are its thoughtfully designed residential units. Each suite is planned with an emphasis on maximizing both space and comfort. Buyers can choose from a range of layouts, from efficient studios to expansive three-bedroom configurations, all featuring open layouts and high ceilings.
The interiors are customizable through four design packages, offering a variety of finishes and material choices. High-performance glazing, engineered laminate flooring with acoustic underlay, and custom cabinetry provide both visual appeal and functionality.
Integrated smart features, such as solid core entry doors with digital smart locks, in-suite wall pads for climate and lighting control, and pre-wired technology for high-speed connectivity, ensure that every suite is equipped for modern living.
Comprehensive Modern Amenities
Bellwoods House offers approximately 12,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities that cater to every aspect of modern life.
The ground floor of Bellwoods House will be an open, inviting space that fosters community. Residents can enjoy a dry sauna and Nordic showers, along with a dedicated yoga studio for mindfulness and physical activity. The fitness suite is outfitted with premium Technogym cardio and weightlifting equipment. Additional features include a pet spa for furry companions, a smart parcel room integrated with the SmartONE system, and a business centre. This centre will feature modern workstations, a reading lounge, and a podcast studio for creative pursuits. Informal meeting spots such as banquettes and an outdoor workspace promote a sense of community.
On the third floor, the focus shifts to social and outdoor living. A social club area offers a central space for gatherings, celebrations, or relaxation. The outdoor terrace, complete with private cabanas, BBQ facilities, and dedicated dining areas, captures the essence of urban outdoor living with comfortable seating and ambient evening lighting. A fireside lounge provides a warm setting for socializing or quiet contemplation on cooler nights.
Smart Home Integration and Sustainability
Modern technology and sustainability are woven into Bellwoods House. A SmartONE system will provide residents with a suite of digital controls for everyday tasks. With keyless digital entry, smart lighting, and climate control systems accessible via an intuitive app, residents can enjoy a level of convenience that is both efficient and secure.
Sustainability is also a priority. High-performance glazing minimizes energy loss while maximizing natural light, reducing the need for artificial lighting and climate control. Energy-efficient HVAC systems, combined with smart thermostats and energy recovery ventilation, ensure that each unit is as environmentally responsible as it is comfortable. The building also incorporates a rainwater harvesting system, further reducing its ecological footprint while contributing to lower operating costs over time.
Beyond design and technology, Bellwoods House is conceived as a catalyst for urban renewal and sustainability through its adaptive reuse of a heritage structure.
